CNN’s Van Jones: ‘We can admire’ Rand Paul
And the hits keep on coming from former Obama adviser and CNN contributor Van Jones.
During Sen. Rand Paul‘s (R-Ky.) 13-hour talking filibuster Wednesday, Jones tweeted that Paul “is the man.”
He continued on the love train in a CNN.com column today, writing:
Yes, I said it, and I will say it again: On Wednesday night, Sen. Rand Paul was a hero for civil liberties. …
It is a shame that it was Rand Paul, not progressives and liberals in the Senate, who led this filibuster.
Not only that, we can admire that Paul used the filibuster the way it should be used. He did not simply stick a Post-it note on a door somewhere and leave town, solely to gum up the government. Too many Republicans have done that during this president’s time in office.
Jones went on to call Paul “a villain on civil rights” for voting against the Violence Against Women Act and his “desire to cut Social Security and Medicare, while preserving tax loopholes for the wealthiest people ever born.”

Posted on March 8, 2013 at 4:07pmI can say this about him, he’s consistent. Any sort of discord or abrogation of rule of law, and he is all for it. When you mash this together with all the other crap he’s said in the last few decades, it paints the picture of a very scary looking person.

Posted on March 8, 2013 at 2:29pmIf Jones is allowed to ‘repackage’ the Obama message, I expect a desperate move to the center to recapture lost ground due to bad choices. The problem remains the same.
The ‘transformation he is attempting’ is not what the nation wants and it has never been successful in the history of humanity. Jones is not to be faulted for not attending the classes, however Obama is a graduate of the Premier Law School of the nation, and has no excuse.
